Los Angeles, CA (May 12, 2009) – Acclaim Games releases the latest Patch 1.0.4 called “Scrolls of Keys and Courage” for The Chronicles of Spellborn MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The latest patch introduces an all new PvP arena to put your abilities to the test, a mysterious new Demon Chest which requires several keys to reveal the secrets that lie hidden inside, and a ton of other new features, quest enhancements, and skill fixes!

House Maul has opened the Quarterstone Arena for organized player matches. The Arena will offer players the possibility to play Arena Skirmishes where they can battle against others of the same level range. Players will be placed in one of five unique Arenas, where they are placed head to head to prove their skills.

In addition, the Arena League gives players a chance to prove themselves in competition against the best ranked teams. Players can form their own teams and enter them in either the 2v2 or 4v4 Leagues. Points will be awarded on a weekly basis, based on the teams’ position, which can be used to purchase unique Arena rewards. Matches fought for the League will directly impact the team’s ranking and position on the ongoing League.

There have also been new reports of an unusual treasure chest named the Demon Chest in the basement of the Palace in the Quarterstone Palace District…but no one knows why it is there. To open the mysterious Demon Chest, players must find the three unique keys which have not yet been found. Retrieve these and unlock the chest to reveal the mystery that’s hidden inside!

There are lots of additional game enhancements available with this patch including PvP lootable player items (Treasure Chest keys), quest additions, skill fixes, and various other new features! For complete details, please click here: http://phpbb.acclaim.com/spellborn/viewtopic.php?t=3403
